WAKE UP!!!!

“And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.”-Romans 13:11, NIV

Time is running out and there is a lost world that demands you to seek God for direction. Once direction is given, they need you to not hesitate, but act immediately. You are needed in the Kingdom of God, your services are required and your position is vacant waiting for occupation.

There is one last revival coming before the return of the Lord. My question to you is, are you positioned? Are you ready to be used? 

You are anointed and you have gifts and talents that need to be exhausted on this earth before returning home. I encourage you to wake up from that “wandering slumber” and place your hands on the plow once and for all.

Don’t let your emotions get involved. Don’t let your opinions get in the way, and much less let anyone dictate this for you…..seek God and follow ONLY His direction. 

You have a specific job to fulfill on this earth that no one else, besides you, can fulfill. So stir up your Spirit and attend to the things of your Father, BECAUSE HE IS SEEKING A RISING REMNANT THAT HE CAN USE IN THIS GENERATION.

Next Thursday!! *Mark Your Calendars!*

BTCC YOUTH MINISTRY PRESENTS..

A CALL TO PRAYER AND FASTING..

On Thursday, September 3rd, join us as we spend the day praying and fasting from our electronic devices.  We'll end the fast that same night at 7:30pm (during Bible study) with a special moment of prayer together.

"Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.”

-Joel 2:15

 

You are NOT damaged goods, you are the DAUGHTER of the KING!

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.”-Ephesians 2:4 

“I’ve done too much, will anyone want me?”
“I’ve chased everyone away, who will love me?”
“I’ve been through a lot, am I too damaged for God to use me?”

Hear the love of God right now saying to you, “No, I love you with an everlasting love.” If nothing can separate you from God’s love, nothing can separate you from His plans for your life. 

The enemy is the accuser of the brethren and his job is to accuse us for every wrong we’ve done. He speaks through people and through negative situations to try to discourage our faith and weaken our confidence. 

But know this, there is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus!  (see Romans 8:1.)

Say that out loud, “There is no condemnation to me. I am in Christ Jesus!”

You don’t have to listen to another lie from the devil. Rebuke every word he speaks in your ear, and put him under your feet where he belongs. Hold your head up and speak what God has said about you. Tell yourself “I am not damaged goods, I am a daughter of the King, I am victorious through Christ, I’m going to make it and my God loves me!” 

Challenge: Don’t just read the Bible silently, speak it out loud to where your ears can hear you. This will help build your confidence, and will silence the enemy in your ears.

Joy Comes in the Morning

“…weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5

You may have cried many tears over the course of your life, but hear and receive the Word of the Lord today. Your tears are being wiped away, and the Son is rising in your life. 

See His love for you and see His light shining on you. You have cried many days, but joy does come in the morning. 

No matter how you feel and no matter what you are going through, God has heard you and He is turning it around. He is turning your mourning into dancing and your sorrow into joy. He is giving you beauty for ashes. Yes, He is. What the enemy has meant for your bad, God is turning it around for your good. He is letting you know that He is with you and He is for you. 

“You will dance again,” God says. “You will laugh and smile again! You will leap for joy at how I bring you through! You’ve cried enough tears. Now, lift up your head and see My glory rising upon your life! See how I make all things new! See My victory in  your life! Speak and declare from your mouth words of faith instead of words of defeat. For this is a special and great time in your heart and in your life.”

Who Can Find You?

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.” Matthew 13:45-46

When someone abuses you, they don’t see what God sees in you. When someone disrespects you, they don’t see what God sees in you. And to be truthful, if you allow the abuse and the disrespect, you don’t see what God sees in you. 

The Bible says, “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies” (see Proverbs 31:10). This Scripture is not merely focusing on the woman, but on the kind of man it takes to find this kind of woman. It takes a certain kind of guy to find you, see you and love you. 

You’re asking, “Why won’t he love me?” Well, he’s not looking for a pearl, he’s looking for a good time. When you’re desperate to be loved or afraid to be alone, this will only attract heartbreak.

Receive God’s love. Lose yourself in Him. Let God show you who you are in Christ. Let the treasure within you enrich you. When you do this, you won’t settle for a guy that knows nothing about pearls, but you’ll wait on the one that recognizes a jewel when they see it and who knows how to treat you.
